DAY 14 – Tues, July 01



What could be much better to start the day than to go to a Bible Study. Yup!….7AM we went to a B.S. of Bro. Mark’s friend, Larry just near where we live here in Daly City. It’s a B.S. for old people (age 50 above kaya alanganin talaga ako dun - wahehe). There were 5 of us (me, Mark, Larry, Bill, and the owner) The owner of the house is an 81 year old piano teacher and he had lost most of his sight (partly blind). Nasa Ecclesiastes chapter 7 na sila and after reading the Scriptures Larry threw in some questions and we had a good discussion. Mark also shared about why we’re here and why we’re staying for a longer period.

Ang maganda nito bago mag-closing prayer, tumayo yung owner ng house (kalimutan ko kasi name eh) at nag-excuse sandali tapos pagbalik may binigay na $100 kay Mark. Haha!…JACKPOT!…I mean BLESSING!…kulang na lang ng 4 zero and $1,000,000 na! Yes!!!

Well…well…well! This is also my “Secretary Day”! We answered some emails and finished the Newsletter para madala kay Cathy. Woowhewh…edit…print…read…edit…print…read….edit…print…read ….edit…print…read….edit…print…read…and finally we have a good copy to print and give to Cathy.

This is also Bro.Mark’s appointment day with his surgeon to find out the result of his MRI. Ayun naka-sked sya ng surgery sa shoulder Tuesday next week.

After we dropped by at Cathy’s house to give the copy of the Newsletter, we head to BORDERS (Bookstore-Music-Café) for our interview appointment with Joseph Pisani from Bethel Church. He was endorsed by Lauren & Ardiz of Bethel Christian Church so he can write an article for us. Ibinili nya kami ng coffee & tea dun sa Café tapos he started the interview with his Sony recorder. He asked us about the ministry and the Mission’s Center.
…..balik bahay.

DAY 14

Today, we are exactly two weeks from getting off the plane in San Francisco. Mostly domestic work day. [Was asked to cook sinigang—again—for Ate Junice. Bro. Mark said I should start charging…heheh]

We went out to meet Joe Pisani, the guy from Bethel, who interviewed us for the newspaper article. We met at Borders Bookshop & Café next to Stonestown. Joe is a Maltese and half European descent.

Borders is a nice bookshop and a lot of interesting books. I saw a few books by Alexander Dumas (Count of Mone Cristo, Man in the Iron Mask, etc). Wonderful!
